Hi all, just wondered if anyone has been in the same boat or may have some advice. Hubby and I have been trying to have a 2nd baby. A few weeks ago I started feeling really nauseous, exhausted and going to the bathroom a lot. Looking at my ovulation dates etc it would tie in with early pregnancy symptoms. Randomly before the nausea my husband said he thought I was pregnant (he didn't with out first baby) and I had a feeling I was pregnant with twins (which I know seems strange but I never had this with my first child and twins run in my family). Anyway the nausea was similar to the morning sickness I suffered with my first one. However I took pregnancy tests and they came back negative, but I had no period or bleeding until now a week after it should have come. Now I'm bleedung heavily and have cramps around my belly and I no longer feel nausea. Could I possibly be having a miscarriage? Could the tests have been negative as it had already died? It just seems so strange and coincidental that I felt so sick for weeks and now I'm bleeding I don't?

Tests wouldn't be negative if it died, they stay positive for weeks after a miscarriage.

Thanks. I wasn't sure.

I had a mc at 6+2, when I went to the epu, they gave me a test and it was a very faint positive. So my negative test was around 5 days after the bleeding started.

I think the earlier you are, the quicker the hormones dissipate so you get a bfn quicker.

Sorry op, you'll never know for sure if it was a loss or not but I've no doubt you feel the loss and it's still a crappy feeling xx

As above poster said i dont think you will ever know for sure. A lot of extremely early miscarriages happen without the woman even knowing and mistakes it just as a period. I think it can be called a chemical pregnancy which happens very soon after implantation. This website explains it quite well. It also highlight how a chemical pregnancy usually happens a week after your period was due.

I have just had horrible nausea and symptoms just like pregnancy, but I’m on my period so definitely no baby. It could just be bad pmt (I have pmdd).

I have twins and the hormone level is so high early on that it would more than likely show up on a test.

As PP said. Tests don't just go negative.
They take weeks.
Took 4 weeks for my test to be completely negative after my miscarriage
